Although I would agree that a tournament is no place for a screaming baby, I have had my wife and 8 month old come to bowling green last year, no one had a problem as my wife made sure my son had plenty of food and that his was changed. The one time he did start to cry a bottle was put in mouth and she took him off the course.<br />

As for danger, I find it FAR more dangerous to bring a child with you during a casual round then a tournament or league round. I say this because generally during organized play people have better control over their discs and even if they don't have that control at least they allow you to clear the hole before they toss a disc.<br />
<br />
However, in the case of a person carrying a baby and the kid constantly screaming I would have to warn for courtesy and perhaps even stroke them if needed.`If you are going to ever have a child with you during a tournament there should always be a contingency plan should the kid get crabby.

A disc to the head might not kill the kid, it might just turn him into a Hawaiian!<br />

The first time I told that joke, my buddy that's married o a Hawaiian told me it was in bad taste . . . . . . .after he stopped howling with laughter.

My biggest issue with it in casual play is the danger to the baby, I've seen some ladies walk down the fairway to spot the discs as they're carrying the baby....I have a problem with that myself.<br />
<br />
The crying in a tournament wouldn't be a good thing either.

I just wanted to change one thing about my post, I said that everyone was complaining, and thats not true. Although I did hear alot of people talking about the issue. Thanks to Mark Stephens for heads up on what to do next time. I will not call for the TD. 801.01 B. Check into it, and then check G for what to do. =) As for dogs, last year the same tournament I had a dog on my card second day last round that was all over the place.

Hi Brandon. It was fun playing in this tourney with you this weekend and I'm interested to find this discussion. First of all, I believe that the baby was out for most of the final round only, not all weekend. Nonetheless, I know for a fact that this caused a lot of unnecessary drama on that card and others. I personally talked to (NOT complained) the staff and TD about the incident after the event, and we're hoping to avoid any issues like this in the future. The club member who's 'guilty' of…
Hi Brandon. It was fun playing in this tourney with you this weekend and I'm interested to find this discussion. First of all, I believe that the baby was out for most of the final round only, not all weekend. Nonetheless, I know for a fact that this caused a lot of unnecessary drama on that card and others. I personally talked to (NOT complained) the staff and TD about the incident after the event, and we're hoping to avoid any issues like this in the future. The club member who's 'guilty' of this brings his little boy out in his stroller to league events all the time and there is rarely, if ever, an issue. BUT, I agree that PDGA sanctioned tournaments are no place for adding the extra distractions that acts like caring for infants and talking on phones unavoidably bring. It does seem that there may have been a few times that Courtesy Violations may have been warranted.<br />

Start a kid young and they will grow to love the things the parents enjoy, I have 6 kids and 2 grandkids. I wont go or do anything I cant have my kids be a part of, but yes they need to behave acording to the situation at hand. I run Beagles in trials and when my kids were to little to walk and keep up they would ride in the kid backpacks and beat the brush with me on every outting I would not trade that for anything.
